- emergency . positions, radiation survey teams would be dispatched, and the public would be notified through the news media.
UNUSUAL EVENT.
An Unusual Event would be declared if there were potential for a safety problem, but:there had been no release of radiation from the plant. If this classification is declared, offsite officials are notified about the potential .

B. Concept of Operations I. Introduction The primary protective action recommendation for the John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in the event of a radiological
, emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station (SNPS) will be to shelter the patients.and employees.
Under the Shoreham Plan, emergencies are to be classified using four categories of increasing seriousness: Unusual e
Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
Only at a General Emergency,would there be the possibility
~
that a release of radioactivity would be of sufficient magnitude Planning Zone to potentially
- (EPZ), theexceed, Environmental in the plume Protection Emergency Agency 's Protective Action Guideline dose levels.
Your hospital will be notified initially _of any emergency at Shoreham requiring protective actions by anyone in the EPZ by the tone alert radio provided to the hospital by LERO. Your tone alert radio may Inn activated at the Alert Classification'although there will be no need for
- hospitals to take any protective actions at that emergency classification. If at a higher classification protective actions are recommended for the general public, your tone alert radio would broadcast the Emergency Broadcast System message. If it is necessary for the hospital to take
- protective actions, LERO would also contact your hospital by telephone to verify that you received the protective
. action recommendation and are implementing these procedures.
. Protective actions of sheltering or evacuation are recommended based upon the projected radiation doses that j- may be received.in particular areas of the plume EPZ, and l the amount of time available in-which to respond relative to the amount of time necessary to implement a response.
L While it is unlikely that an emergency resulting in a L release would occur at Shoreham, it is more unlikely-that a release would occur that would make it necessary to take L
protective actions out to the 10-mile boundary.
II. Sheltering In sheltering John T. Mather Memorial Hospital-patients during a release of radioactivity from Shoreham, the patients are being protected from two kinds of exposura:
- (1) external exposure to' radiation from an overhead plume Revision 2 6-a ~-%--- sw--,, ,.,+,we,- e,,ma m-,e-.-,,,_--,-ev,,,,--r---,vv e-,aw,v ra ~,-,,w.,,,~--,-----, .m,-,a-,v,,w-,,wn,,,.w,pe-.--n,-w-nm,,,-c.,,,,,yn+- , - - , . -- - ,p-r- -- + , ,
J and-(2) internal entposure from inhaling radioactive particulates from the-plume. Adequate sheltering.can be provided.by your building. .The sheltering areas are-indicated on the floor: plans in Attachment 3.
'_ The primary aheltering areas are the x-ray, cobalt,. cast and trauma rooms and corridors on the first and second floors. These areas have no outside walls and are well below the roof, and-thus provide maximum sheltering-protection. The ventilation system in these areas can be isolated protecting the patients and staff from radioactive particulates that could be inhaled.
Hospital staff.should be instructed to move small amounts of water and foodLto the sheltering areas. Portable life-support _ equipment and medication should also be moved to the sheltering areas. All patients should be sheltered in the special sheltering areas except those patients in intensive. care unit, coronary care unit, and isolation.
The following individuals should be sent home if they do not live in an affected-(evacuated / sheltered) area:
patients who are in the hospital for elective surgery; patients who were due to have been discharged the day of
- the emergency is announced any other persons, which from the. standpoint of their health, the hospital considers safe to release.
i III. Evacuation It is.possible to postulate a highly unlikely. accident I scenario that would result in the conclusion that it would l be.necessary to evacuate John T..Mather Memorial L Hospital. However, John T. Mather Memorial Hospital is located on the edge of the plume EPZ and in most accident scenarios, a radioactive release.from Shoreham would not present the hospital with an immediate. emergency (as would, for example, a fire), giving the. hospital ample time to implement protective actions. In addition, government studies indicate that the probability of large-radiation doses, even.from a worse case accident at the plant, drops off substantially at about 10 miles from the L ' reactor (NUREG 0396, Pg. 1-37).
IV. Whv Will LERO Recommend Sheltering Over Evacuation As the Primary Protective Action?
[' LERO will recommend sheltering rather than evacuation as l the primary protection action based on the high level of i , ' radiation shielding provided by your hospital,_your L . distance from Shoreham, and the greater possibility,of.
l risk:to patients by relocating rather than sheltering i
them.
! Revision 2
There is federal guidance which acknowledges ~the'need to apply different criteria.in establishing the' appropriate protective action for special groups (e.g., hospital patients). As written in the Environmental Protection Agency's Manual of Protection Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, "..... some persons are-involuntarily included under different criteria because.
~the risk of taking action is different than that for the general population. This involuntarily selected
. population may include bedridden and critically ill patients ,. patients :ht intensive care units, prisoners,
, etc." (EPA-520/1-75-001, pg.-l.14).
V. Summation In the event of.a radiological emergency at the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, LERO's primary protective action.
recommendation to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital will'be :
to shelter. Patients in ICU, CCU, and isolation should not be moved.

ATTACHIGNT J KI DISTRIBUTION Revision 2
-r .
ATTACHMENT 4-Potassium Iodide (KI) Distribution Instructions I. General Background on KI:
KI blocks radiciodine, which might be ingested or' inhaled by.an exposed person, from entering the thyroid gland by saturating the_ gland with. nonradioactive iodine. If
-radioiodine exposure has occurred or is anticipated, the .
Administrator or her designee can recommend the use of KI as a protective action, in conjunction with sheltering.
- Because KI works by saturating the thyroid gland with nonradioactive iodine before radiciodine reaches the thyroid, it is very important to take KI shortly before or soon after any exposure to radioiodine. The concept is illustrated by the' fact that KI is over 95 percent -
effective when taken at the time of exposure-to radioiodine and is only 50 percent effective when taken-3-4 hours after exposure. It is important to remember that KI protects only the' thyroid gland and does not protect the rest of the body from radiation exposure.
II. Decision Authority:
b LERO will not make a recommendation for the use of KI as a
, protective action. The decision to recommend KI will be made by the Administrator or her designee.
[ -III. Recommended Dose and Frequency:
The recommended dosage is one (1) 130 mg. tablet per day s (equivalent to 100 mg. of iodine) to all individuals over one year-of age and one-half (%) of a 130 mg. tablet per ~
day (equivalent to 50 mg. of iodine) to infants under one (1) year of age.
KI will not be required after ten (10) days if other
- i. protective measures are taken. These protective measures could include interruption of-contaminated milk supplies or evacuation.
- Radiciodine already present in the body but blocked from entering the thyroid gland by KI will continue to :
circulate for up to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after cessation of exposure.
Thus, it takes the body two (2) days to eliminate radioiodine by renal excretion. The thyroid gland must be c protected for this 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> period to prevent uptake of radioiodine from other parts of the body. Continued use of KI is, therefore,-required for two (2) additional days after cessation of exposure. The minimum dosage of KI is
'three (3)' days.

r IV. -Side Effects:-
Read-the manufacturer's brochure for possible side effects
-to KI. IF the side effects are severe or if a person has.
an allergic reaction, they should contact a doctor.
V. . Storage:
Thera are no special storage requirements for this type of KI,:provided that each bottle remains tightly close. It is reconunended, however, that all KI be kept under lock and key to-ensure against possible misuse.
